The Lady Wildcats had five first place finishers including Elizabeth Ward's wins in the long jump and triple jump. She set a new Weber State record in the triple jump. Special called to eligibility By J. P. Nielson News editor of The Signpost The ASWSC senate ratified a resolution on Monday, April 2 that mandates a special election to be held during spring quarter for the purpose of amending the general eligibility requirements of the ASWSC Constitution. Resolution 90-54, "LET THE STUDENTS DECIDE" is sponsored by Melvin Feller, physically challenged senator. The resolution reads "that the ASWSC elected officers be comprised of students who qualify under the general requirements of the ASWSC fcaarjjifll policy, ASWSC election "by-laws and the ASWSC Constitution. In addition, an officer should be one who has no teaching andor administrative affiliation with the college." The resolution further states "that the ASWSC senate allow the ASWSC student body the option, by ballot in the general elections to revise the the ASWSC Constitution." The resolution defines administrative as "one who is contractually remunerated by the college. This does not include work study students or hourly wage employees." The resolution defines teaching as "one who has the power of awarding grades for credit to WSC students. This also includes the creditno credit system." This resolution is the last in a series of moves by Feller and the ASWSC senate to define who may or may not sit on the senate. Resolution 90-51 which passed the ASWSC senate on March 5 sparked the debate over whether a student who also teaches on campus can be allowed to sit on the ASWSC senate. Resolution 90-51 was subsequently challenged in the ASWSC Supreme Court by William Vicars, who while a full time student, also teaches two sign language classes on campus. The Supreme Court ruled that the original resolution was unconstitutional and void election decid issue because it by-passed the normal process of defining general eligibility in the ASWSC constitution. "The students should have the right to decide," said Feller. "We cannot decide this." "As we did some research , as to how many people on campus are instructorstudents," said .TiidvTTnr ASWSC advisor ,"we were told that there were maybe, five students on campus that this would affect." "Unless a professor or administrator tried to run(for office), "said Feller. "I'm against the resolution because it excludes someone," said Guy Watkins, technology senator. "livery person should have- r -?sentation." "The question is would you allow a professor to sit on the ASWSC senate," said Fred Dreis social science senator? "I wouldn't allow a professor, "said Watkins. "That's the question here," said Jodi Budga. natural science senator. "There is a distinct difference between a student and faculty," said Watkins. After more heated debate, Feller pointed out that "We are not making the decision, all we are doing is asking to let the students decide, if they decide it's unfair-then it's unfair." With a two-thirds majority vote of the senate needed to place the resolution on a ballot, the vocal vote barely passed. In other business, Dionne Hamilton, academic vice-president introduced Cherrie Brown to be ratified as education senator. She passed the senate and was sworn in to office by Dee Larsen, Supreme Court chief justice. .Ernil Hansen, dean of student administrative services, asked the ASWSC senate to make a decision on a proposed increase in the cost of student health care. "The increase of three to four dollars, said Hansen, "would cover the cost insurance for well baby care." After discussion on the issue, the senate promised him an answer on the issue next week.
